When you present yourself as someone that is interested in the relationship (and hopefully you genuinely are) you'll find yourself meeting with him more and gaining value far beyond what you think you need to know going into this first meeting.

House #2: A 2-Unit home in Dundalk, MD area that we found through a wholesaler for $69,000 and closed on in February 2018.

Currently in talks with a wholesaler/flipper that is looking promising as a partner.

The theme is different also for each networking event whether it be for wholesalers, out of state investors, general, etc.I would look at Biggerpocket's event section or on meetup.com and find a networking group/event that interests you.

@Sebastian RiveraWelcome to the world of real estate where everything with good planning, habits and work ethic can do wonders.There are local meet up groups on real estate; which can give a chance to meet fellow real estate investors.You can do flips (buy-rehab-resell); rentals; wholesale (buy-sell) and other variations. 

As a wholesaler, your role in the big picture is to identify and secure a purchase opportunity that you can deliver to your buyer, so that THEY CAN MAKE MONEY.

To me, it reads that you can wholesale as long as you are not presenting yourself as a broker or sales associate.

OR Hire a really experienced Realtor that specializes in Investment Real Estate that has gained valuable contacts over the years that could provide you with access to their resources for free OR Work directly with a Real Estate Investing company with decades of experience that can provide you with access to their contacts for free2) Finding a deal: Here's a few ways to go about that - You or your agent can search the MLS and crunch numbers on property advertised on the retail market and hope to find a deal that all of the other real estate investors in Texas may have missed OR You can attend auctions and try to outbid all the other seasoned investors there only to realize if you win then that means you paid too much OR Have random wholesalers send you the one off deals they get under contract OR spend the time, money, and energy in trying to become a wholesaler yourself OR Work directly with a Real Estate Investing company that can send you the largest source of deeply discounted property sent directly to your inbox in the form of a daily spreadsheet.3) Estimating Rehab, Holding and other Costs: Read FLIP by Rick Villani and Clay Davis and The Book on Estimating Rehab Costs by J Scott.

The tenants you want are the ones who are very complimentary to the work that has already been done and are genuinely excited about living in the space because of how nice it is. 

I work with wholesaler groups throughout the boroughs and Long Island that bring about the occasional good deal.
